Dusan Writer is joined by guests Scott Thompson, Director of Social Dialogue and Training Initiatives at Intersections; Lawrence Winters, author of "The Making and Unmaking of a Marine"; and Robert Chase, Executive Director at Intersections International to talk about citizen and soldier dialogues using virtual environments.

For two days Second Life's favourite and most watched media network is throwing open its doors in a bonanza of style, content and fun. All your favourite Treet shows have booths and events happening during the two day event which will blow your socks off (even if you're barefoot).

The Expo will be held on Tropical Treet (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Treet/134/214/22) with a mixture of scheduled events and high profile shenanigans going on through out the weekend. There's hunts, prizes, freebies, music, live shows and a chance for you to be on TV.

Set aside some time on January 27 for the next Metanomics show. It looks like a fascinating lead-up to the PBS Frontline documentary airing in February, Life on the Virtual Frontier. Robert Bloomfield will talk with Douglas Rushkoff, writer, teacher, and all-around expert on the subject.

Linden Labs has added Metanomics to their list of ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œSuccess StoriesÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â and rightly so, as we demonstrate week after week, with an audience that arrives prepared to wrestle with the evolution of this innovative new environment. Please, join us today as we continue our explore of ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œVirtual Worlds, Seriously.ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â
